The Anna Karenina dress

[madamemodiste]

I finally got around to holding up the white box pleated, black rolled hem organza I have for this dress, and I realized my precious linen is really ivory. Oh no! The white is GLARING. What to do?

Tea!

Lemon tea!

No, not to calm me down, to dye my poly organza trim. I wondered if it would take the tea dye, but it did. Yay!



See the difference between the tea-dyed test strip of organza and the glaring white organza? Yay, I'm so glad it worked!

Awesome! Did you overlock the edges yourself? That trim is perfect! I'm so lazy....I try to avoid having to dye any of my fabrics as much as possible. You're a brave one. Tea dyeing is kind of fun tho...cause the mess/stain level is kind of low. Can't wait to see the next level of progress!
